THE NON-COMMITTAL POLICY OF
THE VATICAN.

Still Wasting Time in the Commons
The Parnellites Have No Definite
Plan of Attack and the Government
Wins Every Time-Davitt and Cox to
be Prosecuted.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Times correspon-
dent at Rome says that the Pope has no
sympathy with Mr. Parneils Irish cam
paign, but that no official opinion to show
how the church regards the movement has
yet been given, because the energetic pres
sure brought to bear by the majority of the
Irish bishops holds normally the conserva-
tive tendencies of the Vatican in check.
The correspondent adds that nothing more
is definitely known regarding the question
of reconciliation between Italy and the
Vatican, OF of the establishment by England
and the Vatican of diplomatic relations.
GLADsToNE's ADVICE DIsREGARDED.
In consequence of the refusal of section
of the Parnellites last night to listen to the
advice of Mr. Gladstone, who suggested
that only weightieis points be discussed,
little progress was made in the House of
Commons with the coercion bill, the whole
evening being consumed in discussing the
a
number of the scrappy amendments were
proposed and rejected, the minister treating
each in the curtest manner, the Liberals
refraining from speaking The result of
this absence of any one plan of attack will
be that some of the worst features of the
bilhwill escape amendment when cloture is
finally applied Friday night
MR. CHAMBERLAIN's IDEAS,
Mr.. Chamberlain, speaking at Unionist
banquet tonight, said he rejoiced that the
signs of the times were favorable to the
Unionists. The game of lawlessness and dis
order was up at last The people had ex-
amined Mr.. Gladstone's statements for them
selves, and the result was that their faith in
his judgment and patriotism had been rudely
shaken. He Chamberlain was glad that the
further responsibility for the negotiations at
the Round Table conference had been shifted
from him to Lord Harrington, i'll whom he
had entire confidence. Since he (the speak
err had at the Round Table conference, sub
mitted an alternative plan for abolishing
the dual ownership of land without pledg-
ing the British credit, Mr.. Glad
stone had admitted that the
scheme was feasible, which admission
was somewhat of feather in the Unionist
cap. They had been forced to support the
present government rather than accept the
Parnellite yoke. There could be no hope of
a reconciliation until the Gladstonians
dropped their new allies. The Unionists
must know what Mr.. Gladstone was pre-
pared to surrender before they would accept
his offer for conference. The old reaction
airy Toryism was dead and the hope of the
future lay in the union of the parties to
carry out the Dartford programme and
other necessary reforms.
